Here's a goofy story and another story. Not goofy this time.

[Combat Lobster]

This definitely belongs in the Chit-Chat thread or a writing thread.

This is a writing thread.

Well I guess if a mod could change the name it could be the writing/story thread.

No, I mean the thread is fine as is. Though it would be nice to have a megathread for short writings so that there won't be too much clutter on this board.

That's why I think it needs the name change, so people are more likely to put stories here instead of a random thread.

Well I don't think it's very nice to hijack someone else's thread. Get someone, who is into the idea of a Short Stories megathread, to write up a decent op and make a new thread.

As for the story in the OP, I think the hook is very weak. When writing a story it's a good idea to try and grab the reader with a really nice hook. Saying, "So there was this house on some street. This house was like any other house, on a street like any other street, in a city like any other city, in a state like any other state in a country...." doesn't really convince me to want to read on. Also it's either one period or three; four periods isn't punctuation.
